History and Culture

Our history

IBMS was formed in 2005 upon the realisation that the controls and building technology was being dominated by the major international brands. Their dominance in the market was based on product volumes, corporate benchmarking, mergers and acquisitions. A gap was forming between the needs of the market and what was being delivered. Around us in everyday life technology was advancing rapidly (think mobile phones) whilst commercial and public buildings were staying in the 1990s.

The overwhelming message from discussions with consultants, contractors and end users was that there was a demand for an independent systems integrator. This integrator would offer a full range of design, project management, installation, commissioning and maintenance services – without the normal conflict of interests which arise from being tied to any particular product range or systems philosophy.

We apply technology to improve the built environment.

The original IBMS team was a small group of highly experienced and committed professionals who have spent their careers serving in the building automation, services, technology and engineering sectors. Today, IBMS has fully evolved as a specialist consultancy and service delivery organisation focused on designing and delivering building systems that vastly improve the operational efficiency of both new and existing buildings and campus style precincts.

IBMS’ business purpose is to serve its customers and to consistently strive to exceed their expectations. Success through actively practicing our motto: “We Keep Our Promises”is of paramount importance to the Directors and staff.

IBMS’ success to date is entirely due to our strong culture and philosophy of customer delivery built over many years combined with the assembling of a highly qualified, experienced, diverse and highly committed team.

Traditional consulting engineers look at the design or construction period only. IBMS’ view is across the entire lifecycle from concept, through design and construction, into occupancy and tuning, and through the ongoing lifecycle (recommissioning and re-tuning).

IBMS’s range of building efficiency, engineering, commissioning management and advanced technology solutions and services are highly complementary and are able to deliver substantial value to both owners and occupants in a number of ways including:

Provision of tools to assist in more effective and efficient facilities

Improved building compliance management

Advancing occupant satisfaction and quality of services; and

As a consequence of the above, advancing the reputation and brand and asset value of the building owners and management.

Culture

Our corporate culture is shaped by the shared values we adopt. Our values are “lived” through our daily behaviours – what we say, do, write and even think. We can think of our Corporate Culture simply as “This is the way we do things around here”.

What is an IBMS Value?

IBMS’ core values are used to support our vision, shape our culture and reflect what IBMS, as a company, values. Core values are the essence of our identity, our principles and beliefs. The IBMS values provide the foundation upon which all staff perform their work and conduct themselves. An IBMS value guides our decision making and provides a sense of what is important and what is right.
